Excellent- More about ORLAN: Six Decades
French artist ORLAN uses her body as raw material to deconstruct traditional feminine iconography, exploring identity through her "carnal art." This publication spans six decades of her work, including the ORLAN-OÏDE robot and augmented reality avatars.

Length: 304 pages

Publisher: Hatje Cantz
French artist ORLAN, known for her avant-garde approach to art, challenges the traditional portrayal of femininity by using her own body as a raw material. Her artistic journey began in 1964, at the age of 17, when she gave birth to her artistic self. Since then, ORLAN has continuously reinvented herself, exploring the concept of identity with unwavering curiosity.
In her "carnal art," ORLAN blurs the boundaries between subject and object, transforming the body into a canvas for her creative expression. This publication takes a comprehensive look at ORLAN's six-decade oeuvre, highlighting her early performances and recent creations, such as the ORLAN-OÏDE robot. Through the use of augmented reality technology, ORLAN avatars come to life, further immersing viewers in her artistic world.
ORLAN's political commentary is evident in her works, particularly in her 1989 transformation of Gustave Courbet's famous painting "Lorigine du monde" into "Lorigine de la guerre." By replacing the vulva with the phallus, she subverts the traditional representation of the female body and challenges societal norms. The statement remains relevant and topical today, reflecting ORLAN's commitment to social and artistic activism.
Through her art, ORLAN invites us to reexamine our perceptions of femininity, identity, and the power of the body. Her bold and provocative approach challenges the status quo and encourages us to think critically about the world around us. ORLAN's legacy as an artist continues to inspire and challenge artists and audiences alike, reminding us of the importance of artistic expression and the power of the human spirit.
